description: The European cherry fruit fly (Rhagoletis cerasi) is the only pest insect which makes a  insecticide treatment of cherry fruit necessary. With regard of residue free cherries a  biocontrol method for R. cerasi by soil applications seems attractive. However, soil  treatments can only be effective if the migration of flies is low. In order to examine the  potential of soil treatments and to understand the dispersal behaviour of R. cerasi in  orchards, experiments using nettings to cover the soil were conducted. The  experiments were arranged in commercial, organically managed orchards. The  nettings reduced fruit infestation by 90%. In addition, it was shown that the flies move  only very short distances (less than 5 m) within orchards. Thus, soil treatments are an  interesting strategy to control R. cerasi in extensively managed orchards.
